    Product Description

    Explore a mysterious planet to find your way home. Deadly sharpshooter Sylux has finally caught up with renowned bounty hunter Samus Aran! After an unexpected accident in the wake of their clash, Samus finds herself transported to Viewros—a mysterious planet once inhabited by an ancient race. Now she must explore this planet, all while battling the strange creatures that inhabit it, to find her way home. Scan your surroundings for clues, make the most of your equipment and weapons, and use Samus’s newfound psychic abilities—and her technologically advanced bike, the Vi-O-La—to traverse and explore the environment. Operate mechanisms, control your charge beam, and more—you’ll need every tool at your disposal to survive and escape Viewros! Play with mouse controls, enhanced visuals, and two different display modes—only on the Nintendo Switch 2 system. Aim with a Joy-Con 2 controller as a mouse! The Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition game also features enhanced resolution, framerate, and load times. Two display modes let you choose how to experience the adventure. Enjoy more detail in Quality Mode, which runs at 60 frames per second in 4k while docked and in 1080p while in handheld, or prioritize super-smooth action with a higher frame rate in Performance Mode, which runs at 120 frames per second in 1080p while docked and 720p in while in handheld.

    Product Description

    Join intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran in her first new 2D Metroid story in 19 years. Samus’ story continues after the events of the Metroid Fusion game when she descends upon planet ZDR to investigate a mysterious transmission sent to the Galactic Federation. After a harrowing encounter with a living Chozo—a race previously thought to be extinct—she ends up deep below the surface of the planet. The remote world has become overrun by vicious alien lifeforms and chilling mechanical menaces. Samus is more agile and capable than ever, but can she overcome the inhuman threats stalking the depths of ZDR?. Face off against unrelenting E.M.M.I. robots. Once DNA-extracting research machines, the imposing E.M.M.I. are now hunting Samus. Tensions are high as you evade these E.M.M.I. to avoid a cruel death while finding a way to take them down. Find out what turned these robotic wonders into the scourge of ZDR and escape with your life. Feel Samus’ power grow as you gain maneuvers and abilities. Parkour over obstacles, slide through tight spaces, counter enemies, and battle your way through a dangerous world. You’ll acquire new and familiar abilities as you traverse the many environments of ZDR. Blast multiple targets with the new Storm. Missile or use the Speed Booster to dash and break through walls. Return to areas and use your new abilities to find upgrades, alternate paths, and a way forward. Explore the sprawling map, evade and destroy E.M.M.I. robots, and overcome the dread plaguing ZDR. New modes let you ease into ZDR, experience true dread, or take on a boss gauntlet. If this is your first time sprinting and shooting as Samus, the new Rookie Mode increases health gained from items and decreases damage from bosses. Bounty Hunters looking for a true challenge can face the new Dread Mode, which can be unlocked if the Hard Mode is finished. Complete the game to unlock Boss Rush and fight Samus’ most formidable foes one-after-another to try to get the best time possible! A new Samus amiibo figure featuring her suit from Metroid Dread and an E.M.M.I. amiibo figure are available in a 2-pack set. Scan the Samus amiibo for an extra energy tank to increase your health by 100; additionally, the Samus amiibo can be tapped again to receive health once per day. The E.M.M.I. amiibo grants Samus a Missile Plus tank, increasing her missile capacity by 10; additionally, the E.M.M.I. amiibo can be tapped again to replenish some missiles once per day. Software Update required. Nintendo.

    Product Description

    Bring the Nintendo World Championships to your living room. Test your speedrunning skill in over 150 challenges! Each one relives a memorable moment from one of 13 NES games, including classics like Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Metroid. Start small by seeing how quickly you can blaze through the first level of Super Mario Bros., and work your way up to defeating Meta-Knight in a one-on-one sword fight in Kirby’s Adventure. Hone your skills in practice and see if you have what it takes to be a champion—the tougher challenges may truly test your limits! Compete against players around the world online. Jump into the World Championship Mode with a Nintendo Switch Online membership and aim for a spot on the leaderboards in five challenges that rotate each week. At the end of each week, compare your times against players of varying skill levels, or sit back and watch a replay of the world’s best time to learn how to improve. With “byte-sized” challenges, you don’t need to master entire games to feel like a Nintendo World Champion! Challenge your friends on the couch. Gather up to 8 players in the local Party Mode to take on challenges individually or in themed challenge packs. With an automatic rewind feature to undo mistakes, even completely new players can compete. Face off against the best times of players of different skill levels in Survival Mode. Choose your division—Silver for easy, Gold for hard—and match up against the ghost data of players from around the world in this elimination mode. Can you outlast all seven of your rivals in the three challenges of the week? Put your skills to the ultimate test in Legend Challenges. When you feel ready, take on these longer and more difficult challenges from 13 NES games. Play through Super Mario Bros. using warp pipes, the entire first dungeon of The Legend of Zelda, and more in the ultimate test of speed and endurance. Check out the Classified Information for tips and tricks if you need a little help! Nintendo. NES games are not included in their entirety. Any Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for online features. Membership auto-renews after initial term at the then-current price unless canceled.
